Pop-Up Programs

From time to time, the Adler hosts one-time-only programs featuring special guests and partners from around Chicagoland (and beyond!). With science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) to activate the imaginations of our guests, these interactive programs can “pop up” at any time throughout the year!

Pop-Up Programs are held during daytime hours and are FREE with admission. Some programs are planned far in advance, but during your visit, you may encounter a spontaneous program not listed below. Check back here often for new surprises!

Upcoming Pop-Up Events*

Celebrate Black History/Future Month at the Adler Planetarium with a full day of science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) programming. More details to come!

*Please note that details for Pop-Up Programs may change. Refer back to this page on the day of your visit for the latest information.
